Iconic Bionic My engine bay is Bionic Donating Members 3,726 Member For: 19y 2m 27d Gender: Male Location: Freeways Posted 28/09/06 03:34 AM Share Posted 28/09/06 03:34 AM I'm thinking of having Hurricane extractors put on and a high flow cat. My car is fairly new and im wondering if the mods will effect my warranty.So far for the mods I got quoted $500. Later I want to upgrade the front rotors and pads as well. The standard brakes are a bit ordinary after a few firm stops.Whats ya thoughts??

Oh and any mods = good luck with trying to claim warranty.

Guest Guests Posted 28/09/06 04:44 AM Share Posted 28/09/06 04:44 AM Sometimes, if your dealer's not a complete then you can get them to write down the mods on your warranty card and if one of those mods breaks then its not covered by warranty. If a factory part breaks, and it's not a direct result of the mods I.e electric windows wont work, then it will still be under warranty.Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28867-warranty-question/#findComment-441969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromie0 Member 49 Member For: 18y 10m 9d Posted 28/09/06 05:55 AM Share Posted 28/09/06 05:55 AM Hey I went through the same questions, and it really does depend on the guy you get there at Ford. The other options is to keep the stock parts and just revert back to normal if there is an issue. Brakes shouldn't be an issue as is suspension (so I have been told). I If you were putting a high flow cat, then consider removing the centre muffler as from what I have read, dump pipe on the xr6 turbo isn't too bad for mild modifications. If you aren't driving a turbo, then an ecu upgrade along with a cat back exhaust would probably be the best bet.

If the mod doesnt cause the problem than it shouldnt effect warranty. Gee I cant really see how how an EDIT would affect a claim on my doors not locking.

As a matter of fact the car in question was used as an example for the black list Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28867-warranty-question/#findComment-442218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
